Can and body suggest a supplier that has reasonably priced soap dye. And close to 17022 zip. thanks Lisa

Thaks alot CareBear!! You have been a great help!!

Thank you!

I just cut my 2nd batch of CP soap. This is scented with cucumber Melon, I attempted the swirl. I found out later i should have used a coat hanger on chop stick. Well i'm making progess. This one looks better than the last batch. Thanks for looking and all the helpful comments.. Lisa;)

I know what I did wrong on my first batch so I had to make another right away. This time I won't keep peeking in at it. I can't wait to unmold!:smiley2:

Well it ain't pretty, but i am proud of it. It soaps up nice, and fells soooo soft. Can't wait to make more. Will the bars eventually look softer on the out sides of the bars, ore is there something that needs to be done differently next time. Also the color is alittle ash, what can i do to prevent this again? Feel free to critique. I hope u do!!!!! Want to get this right!!! Thanks Lisa

I set my lye outside in 40 degree weather it cooled nicely. (in a safe protected area)

Thanks for the great info.. i feel so much better!!

Thanks so muh for your help!!

yep my finger makes an indent.. so i guess that good!! Whooo, takes a load off! Now after you cut it what ,do u store it in? Has to cure for up to 6 wks Huh? Tha nk u thank u.

It feels as tho it is setting up, just would like to know how hard it to should be . or if its supposed to be soft. I am in the dark as to how it is progressing. I am so hoppful for a good outcome... and thank yyou for your replyi used the Soapcal9 WP

Wow that was interesting!! I made my own receipe too..how does this sound to any of u experts!! i changed my weights to oz 40 oz Olive oil 20oz cocnut oil 20oz soybean 2oz of castor oil 1 oz coc butter 31.54 oz h2o 11.592 Lye Now after all that, I need to know , what should i be looking for. Its been 5hrs. Its all nice and warm. in the oven. If you leave the oven light on, it keeps it nice and warm. Anyway thats where i am.. Should it be getting hard at this point??? I am nervous, that it might not come out right. What should i be looking for, as far as knowing if i am on the right track here???? Thanks Lisa

Who would have thought it to be that hard to find..... BUT IT IS. What other stores sell it?? I finally found Lye!!! i'm gettin there lol Thanks Lisa

Hi, i have heard that cleaned bacon grease makes good soap? Any truth? If so, where can I find recipes. Does anyone have any to share? Thanks

Sur does help alot.. thanks!! Lisa

Hi, never tried to make soap, but from what I read about making your own; once you use it you'll never go back to the other stuff. My question is, if you don't have soap molds. , what around the house can you use for a substitue. I have used sources available on this site for calculations and have made my recipe. I can't wait to get started! Any helpful tips before getting started?? Thanks... happy Holidays santa big

Those are really great i love em!!

Woo those are neat.. i love em.. very prim

Hey... thanks for the heads up!!

I am really starting to have fun with this.. thanks for looking :highfive:
